Many thanks for your input, barryd.  I will certainly post my findings if I'm able to unearth anything.

There is an article in last week's Galloway News about the lighthouse, with the findings of local historian being reported to the local history society.  There is mention in the article of a tender being accepted from Robert Hume of Gatehouse; 'certainly there is evidence that brickwork in the lighthouse matches bricks produced by Hume in Gatehouse'.

I have an inkling you know about the article though?  8)

Very many thanks, Luath, this is precisely the information I was seeking. Unfortunately, I didn't see the article but I will now try to find it.
Well done and thank you again.
